The spline angle on the output shaft that's different for different years engages into the front planetary, not the rear. The rear planetary is driven by the ring gear and where that ring gear slips on the output shaft, I believe, is the same on all years

I have a buddy that lives near Raleigh NC that needs a 225 slant 6 that's in good running condition for his 69 Dart. Please reply with the mileage (if known), and your asking price

No one have an idea?

A mutual acquaintance of mine that lives about 20 miles SW of Raleigh NC either needs a good running slant 6 for his 69 Dart or a recommendation of someone in that area that's competent and reliable to rebuild his. Does anyone here have any suggestions for me to give to him? Thanks, Tracy

I think some of that was also due to their round port heads, wasn't it? They didn't make as much low end torque as the D-ports. JMT

Doesn't look like either to me. Maybe it's just my monitor but it looks like small gravel here. Either way about it the trans needs to come out and gone through and everything, and I mean everything, needs flushed good to get that crap out or you'll have the same problem again in no time

That's a surprise to me. Never saw them listed. Do you know the part number?

I think your talking about ring gear bolts. He needs the bolts that hold the sure grip together

I know. Was just sayin because I noticed you didn't say anything about rotating them to get them in

Ain't that the truth!

If the inner splines are not aligned you can beat it with a BFH till your blue in the face and they'll never go in

yes the stock sure grip has 2 sets of splines that the axle splines engage into. These splines have to be aligned to get the axle to slide in. Since you drove it their almost undoubtedly not aligned anymore and you'll need to take the 3rd member out and take the sure grip apart and align them...

For driveshaft's I use Action Machine Action Machine Inc - Custom Driveshafts & CNC Machine Shop in Indiana. Great work and prices and real fast service. I just had a 3" aluminum driveshaft with 1350 yoke and u-joints built and shipped to me. Good for 800 hp. $443 shipped to my door. What are...

I'll take it if you still have it Ken. Pm me if you do. Thanks, Tracy

I doubt that'd work because each piston is designed with a groove that's either for the narrow seal or the wide seal
